Possible Causes
Worn indoor fan motor bearings, misaligned blower wheel, lack of lubrication (sealed motors), fan shaft damage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before working near the fan.
Steps:
- Confirm source: Run the unit briefly with covers removed (if safe) to confirm the noise comes from the indoor fan motor.
- Check blower alignment: Ensure the blower wheel is centered and not rubbing against the housing. Adjust position if necessary.
- Motor replacement: Most Klarstein fan motors are sealed and not serviceable. Remove the blower wheel, disconnect wiring, and replace the motor with a compatible Klarstein indoor fan motor.
Do not apply oil to sealed bearings; this is a temporary and often ineffective fix.
